XMNN: Apr 26, 2008; I am incredibly stupid

I think you're exactly right that most people are way over focused on how this will affect a few listicle sites. The real conclusion here is that newspapers are finally done-done. They will *never* be able to move to an internet ad strategy even at a tenth of their former selves.

This assumes that the entire value of a newspaper to its owner is as a profit-making enterprise, when I think the political power and influence, as well as the prestige, that comes with controlling a mass-market media outlet are also factors worth considering.

It's probable that falling circulation will do for that though. And obviously you don't need as many journalists if all you're doing is feeding wire articles through The Sunomatic Bigotry and Lies machine.
